Growing Up

Six Years later……

           It was just barely seven years since Crystal’s family died and was buried. She cried her eye balls out thinking they would come back to life during the burial. But it was of no just use.

      “Now I’m all alone in this cold world , going through pain and hell mom, just because of what I had said that day” she whispered.

      She had the fear that she was responsible for her family’s death. She could still remember how she had wished they never ever came back to the house before she slept off that day.

      She kept on blaming herself for their death because of the wrong Choice of words she used.

     “I miss you so much mom, I don’t think I can continue staying in this wicked world” She murmured.

     Aunt Lucy and her husband James had carried Crystal after her parents death and decided to train her.

     They lived in Crystal’s father’s mansion and for the first three years , they were really good to her.

    They made sure she had enough to eat because her dad left a lot of cash before he died.

    They made sure she went to the best colleges and graduated with good results too.

    Lucy wasn’t a worker and her husband was a fraudster. They had lived their lives stealing and duping rich individuals .

    They were happy that finally, Crystal’s parents were dead and had left a lot of assets too.

     They couldn’t manage the money that Crystal’s parents had left and therefore they did what a normal thief would do.

     They sold everything in Crystal’s home and also sold the house just trying to live like a king and queen.

     Seeing that what Crystal’s parents kept for her were no more, they began to treat her like a slave.

     She was confused and wondered why they did such but she couldn’t get her fingers on any reason.

      Crystal loved her aunty so much and never wished to stand against her in any way. She was also scared of her too .

    After few years , Lucy decided to get a job as a maid and had kept on dragging Crystal along with her.

     “If you would want to have something to eat, then work for it!” she ordered.

    She would make sure Crystal does all the jobs that were meant for her and later on give Crystal a pinch of what she was paid .

    Crystal had no other choice than to do what she was told so she could eat.

    They worked for the Robbins family.

      The Robbins family had also accepted to accommodate them in their mansion so they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable working for them.

        Mrs. Robinson loved Crystal so much that she would always wish she had whatever she wanted in the Mansion. But when she died, things changed to worst for Crystal.

      “Now I see you’ve made a lot of money to disobey my calls right!!?” Aunt Lucy scolded with her two hands placed on her waist as she walked closer to where Crystal was seated crying.

     Crystal stood up from the ground and the cold she felt was just too much. “Can I change Aunty?” she requested as she wiped her tears .

     “To what!!? Get out now!! To the kitchen!!” she bellowed as she chased Crystal out of the room.

     As Crystal was still running to the kitchen so she could do the dishes, she barged into the rude and strange Billionaire’s son Red.

     He always had a mask on so no one could see his face.

     “Good m….” Crystal tried greeting but then he interrupted with his deep voice.

    “Get your filthy face off my eyes now!!” he ordered rudely as Crystal trembled in fear.
